A utility cut was made at this intersection west of Upland Brewing. The work appears to be completed, but the repair of the cut leaves the cut edges too high causing severe stress to my cars suspension even if I try to go over it slowly. When will this intersection either be repaved of the utility cut filled in so that the pavement is smoother going over it?
Thank you for your fine (and I go mean it) work.

Pothole on Walnut St. is very deep and there were no signs. I turned onto Walnut from 11th street and there were no warnings for the pothole. My car bottomed out and cracked the front bumper and broke clips to where it is hanging. I parked to look at the pothole and walked up the street and took pictures, showing that there are no signs, and to show that this pothole is very deep, roughly a 2" drop. This incident occurred on Sunday August 23, 2015.

Greetings,
I couldn't get the mayor to comment directly on the following via the Ask the Mayor program on WFIU, perhaps your dept can comment?
Downtown and near downtown main streets are
becoming a maze of hazardous patched sections,
uneven pavement, road projects without final paving (roundabout
at Arlington Road) and wear and tear that is not being attended
to. I have my doubts that the Street Dept is at fault here but here
is what I have observed as a lifelong resident who notices things.
Due to the recent explosion of downtown building, contractors tear up
our downtown streets, often major thoroughfares in order to connect to
utilities, etc. They further damage the street with huge pieces of machinery
needed for the construction. They finish the project and then cheap out on
really repairing the damage to the street that was often in fine condition
prior to them tearing it up. Then all the citizens have is a street that will kill
their tires, struts and rattle their teeth as well as possibly causing accidents.
They leave it up to the city to spend the huge $$$ to really fix the road
correctly. The contractors and builders have no right to destroy our streets
that WE pay taxes to keep in excellent condition. We should not have to
wait for a scheduled road project when the road in question carries
thousands of cars and other vehicles a day. This type of damage
is very obvious at the northern apex of Walnut and College Avenues.
Just patching the potholes and bumps and uneven surfaces is NOT enough.
It seems that the streets that are getting paved and kept in the best
condition in Bloomington are those who live in exclusive additions
off these roads and all they had to do was to jiggle the ringer on the
mayor’s cell phone and voila! the street is smooth as a baby’s bottom.
Could you comment on my observations and what can be done?

There is a big ditch that has developed over the last year that needs to be fix in the front of my house(1008 East Thornton Drive) It is on the main street(Thornton Drive)Can you please have someone out to fix it soon? With winter close it will be extra dangerous to park there.I think it just needs to be filled in with gravel. There is not a lot of parking available there because of the ditch.
Thanks

Roto-rooter has left a dangerous trench angled across a much used bike lane in front of 809 S Lincoln.
Now (Coronavirus healthcare shortage) is not the time for new, avoidable injuries, and more people are riding this bike lane as their getting-exercise-during-emergency route.

There is construction on the corner of 17th and Rogers. The construction company cut across the road and the gravel they put down has been reduced and there is a big bump. It's been like that for 2 weeks. If they could add more gravel it would be helpful until they complete a patch. Weddle Brothers is the construction company.

Those of us living along Rogers Rd are dealing with a huge amount of noise even when the Rogers Road workers are here and even when they are not here. The steel plates that are supposed to be covering the large rectangular hole/cutout on Rogers, keeps moving around every time a car runs over it. This is not only a noise nuisance on a holiday weekend, but it is not safe.Last night was so extremely disruptive that I called BPD because I didn't know what else to do. I have since found that this is the place to report such things. Please see photo and please inform contractors to make better plans when they finish and go home for the weekend, so the area can stay safe and quiet. Thsi could have been solved if the orange barrel had been placed directly in front of the gravel area, so cars would bypass this completely. Thanks.

A precarious and unsafe situation on Rogers Road. I reported this same issue a few days ago. The situation has obviously become worse. Photo is self explanatory.
